Dubai has announced plans to build the first climate-controlled city on the planet. The area, constructed under a huge glass dome, will accommodate the world’s largest shopping center, over 100 hotels, and a wellness district for medical tourists.
The city of Dubai is the most populous in the United Arab Emirates, and the second-largest emirate by territorial size. Though it is a popular tourist spot, many are deterred from visiting due to the city’s scorching heat, with temperatures reaching 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) in the summer.
UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed confirmed plans for the world’s first temperature-controlled city, named ‘Mall of the World,’ in early July. The city will be made “to enhance Dubai’s tourist infrastructure as soon as possible,” he said.

The needs of visitors and residents of the Gulf state will be catered for in the 48 million square foot area – no matter what the outdoor conditions happen to be at the time.
To control its climate, the area will be covered by a single glass dome, which will be open during the winter months.
According to Dubai Holding, the Sheikh’s property arm, “tourists will be able to enjoy a week-long stay without the need to leave the City or use a car. The 7 km (4.3 miles) long promenades connecting all facilities will be covered during the summer and open during the winter, ensuring pleasant temperatures throughout the year.”

The project will feature the world’s largest mall and indoor park, as well as a theater area and wellness resorts. It will have the capacity to host over 180 million visitors annually.
The shopping area will be connected to 100 hotels and serviced apartment buildings, with a temperature-controlled covered street network between them.

There will also be a “cultural district,” modeled on London’s West End and New York’s Broadway theaters, and a “celebration walk” designed in the style of La Rambla in Barcelona. “Seven-star wedding halls and services” will be available for those who fancy tying the knot while avoiding the heat.
Some have already joked about the city’s future three million square foot “wellness district,” saying it is being designed for those who shop not only for new outfits, but also for new bodies.
According to the project’s press release, the domed wellness area “will offer a holistic experience to medical tourists and their families, ensuring access to quality healthcare, specialized surgical procedures and cosmetic treatments.”

The Mall of the World has raised concerns among environmentalists, as the project – which aims to cool down its own temperatures – may actually add to global warming. Such large climate-controlled facilities are known to consume a lot of energy, and are responsible for a large amount of carbon emissions.
But the chief executive officer of Dubai Holding, Ahmad Bin Byat, said “the project will follow the green and environmentally friendly guidelines of the Smart Dubai model. It will be built using state-of-the-art technology to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, ensuring high levels of environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.”
It is not yet clear when the construction of the project will start, but the chief executive told Reuters that the structure will need about 2.5 billion dirhams (over US$680 million) “every year for the next 10 years.”

Dubai is already home to the world’s tallest man-made structure – the 2,722 ft tall Burj Khalifa building – which houses the Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping malls. Once completed, the announced climate-controlled project will be four times bigger than the Dubai Mall.

Thank you for this work. It is most inspiring and hopeful, But I hesitate to share something that is not official. Given the lousy reception, overall, that I have received when trying to red pill normies, oh, my lord! If this doesn’t unfold nearly exactly as foretold, I can be sure it will certainly blow up in my face! For folks who have not been following along somewhat up to now, this might just be too fantastical and hard to process. It’s just hard for me to gauge what will be helpful or harmful. I’ll see what others think. But awesome on you!

It appears to me that the masked speaker in this video would put himself on a pedestal for others to look up to. I’m not looking up to any masked individual. Let us know who you are such that you may be judged by your actions.

Get off the pedestal and remove the mask. Otherwise disappear into obscurity.

Bix has turned off comments on his own YouTube videos, so one cannot also questions there.. He hasn’t responded to my emails, so I can’t get any answers that wey.

The really burning question I have is what evidence does Bix have that any part of the Grand Canyon has been shut off from the public. Does he have maps showing what part. Is closed off? Does.he have photos of signs saying entry to an area is prohibhited? Such evidence, that exists IN PRESENT TIME.

The plane crash. is circumstancial. I see the NYT article. But Bix shows no photos of NO ENTRY signs or maps. No evidence of military presence to prevent entry.

What he’s protesting about may be valid, but where he’s staging his protest and what he’s associating it with are inappropriate. Wanting to be heard is understandable, but venue and association go along with that and, in this case, are inappropriate. His protest has nothing to do with the flag, the military or football (and other sports).

And here is another thing that needs airing. Has anyone noticed that the protestors are not interfering with the anthem; they aren’t making any noise or hopping up and down or doing anything to disturb the ceremony. They are just sitting silently. This is a problem? Really? The source of the unrest regarding their conduct has to do with what we are taught is the “respectful” and “proper” attitude and posture to assume during the ceremony. George Carlin (may he rest in peace) did a skit about the proper posture during the anthem. He said, paraphrased: What if I put right hand in my pocket, put both hands in my pockets, stand on one leg, sit, lie down, etc.? What difference does it really make. I agree with George; it makes no difference, as long as they are not interfering with the ceremony. If one does like their posture or position, one should just focus on the ceremony and forget about what they are doing. One can enjoy the ceremony in whatever prescribed mode one wishes without getting into what someone else is doing—as long as that someone else is not disturbing the ceremony. So far, these protestors have not disturbed the ceremony, that I am aware of. Not really.

Personally, I am very tired of this entire issue, including the anthem. I tune in to football to watch football, not to participate in the national anthem or to focus on any other thing. The anthem, patriotic though it is, has nothing to do with football (or any other sport). Why must we venerate the flag or the military whenever we watch a football game (or any other sport)? There is nothing wrong with doing that ceremony, but it also isn’t necessary or relevant to the game.

Can we please dispense with all of this nonsense and get on with the game?

Only two shooters? I’ve seen video evidence of shooters from at least 4 different locations – 32nd floor, 4th floor, Gate 7 and Bellagio. Let’s get over this single or even two shooter nonsense.

Boy the feds really did a number on Las Vegas on 1 October, directly firing on unknowing and unsuspecting American citizens. And Las Vegas police are just covering it up. No, I don’t think so Mr Lombardo.
